It's interesting you say that, since I've just had to jump through the same hoop in exactly the opposite direction to get Obok working on the same system. Over in this GitHub issue you will see that the developers found the problem was that the plugin was not Python3-compatible when it needed to be, rather than vice-versa.

Nevertheless, if you hold that the issue is only resolvable by upgrading to the non-distro version of calibre, then I shall regretfully have to abandon the use of KoboTouchExtended at this time. I'll try to keep an eye out on this thread, and look forward to resuming the use of this excellent plugin at such a time as RedHat's provided python and upstream's python expectations come back into line.

Thanks for your time.
